This conference will present the novel concept of "Brain Capital" which puts a premium on cognitive skills and abilities in accomplishing socio-economic objectives. Building brain capital is fundamental for meeting modern societal challenges and driving innovation. Brain deals are large-scale and brain science-inspired policy strategies that can harness advanced AI and boost the implementation of several UN Sustainable Development Goals at national and global levels. On the model of the Brain Deal see the recent Baker Institute issue brief “Toward a Comprehensive Brain Deal to Harness the Potential of Artificial Intelligence.” The event will focus on how brain deals can support implementation by 2030 — view the agenda here.
This event is co-sponsored by the Baker Institute Center for Health and Biosciences and is part of the ninth edition of the Science Summit around the 78th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA78). Organized by the International Science Council (ISC) and its partners, the summit will take place September 12-29, 2023.
